Giva eSalesDesk

Manage Field Inquiries To win business, your Sales organization is constantly striving to better serve your prospects and customers. However, for Sales to provide better service, your headquarters staff must be responsive to field requests. To maintain your competitive edge, your entire organization must be quick to respond to sales inquires – nothing can fall through the cracks.

Today, Sales relies on email and voicemail to work with headquarters. These emails and voicemails get forwarded around, but nobody is accountable for a final resolution to a customer-related inquiry by a specified deadline. Important issues are not escalated to the proper decision-makers in a timely manner. There is no way to record account history in a centralized place and no way to measure the level of service provided to the sales organization. Because there is no automated solution to help streamline the fast pace of Sales and Marketing interactions friction results. A rift opens between your Sales and Marketing organizations, and you risk losing business.

Giva eSalesDesk

Giva eSalesDesk™ is a Sales and Marketing service desk software solution that helps sales representatives work with product managers, marketing managers, sales support staff and other headquarters personnel to help you better serve your prospects and customers. It automates and streamlines Sales and Marketing interactions, while minimizing the risks of losing business due to poor responsiveness.

Why Giva?

Giva eSalesDesk delivers more than just a powerful, easy-to-use Sales and Marketing service desk software solution. Built on a world-class infrastructure, it offers:

  • One-week deployment

In fact, existing Giva customers have deployed Giva eSalesDesk on a worldwide basis in one week – an Internet connection and a standard Web browser are all you need. In contrast, according to Aberdeen Group, other Sales and Marketing service desk software solutions typically require trained experts for set-up and customization, which may take three to six months.
